Cancerophobia is the fear from developing
cancer or a malignant growth in any part of the body. This phobia is tough to
deal and handle with. The person who has been in close interaction or has been
living with someone with a person suffering from cancer, tend to take this
attack of malignant tumor as serious and start taking precautions to stay away
from it.

Symptoms of Cancerophobia:

People with Carcinophobia are afraid of
getting cancer so much so that they are constantly visiting doctors to ensure
all is well with their health. The mere thought of the disease can trigger a
panic or anxiety attack that is characterized by physical and psychological
symptoms. Physical symptoms include shaking or trembling, sweating,
experiencing a rapid heartbeat, feeling dizzy or lightheaded, fainting,
breathing rapidly, crying or screaming.
